- Before opening the letter, know what to expect: A thin envelope means it’s a rejection, while a thick envelope contains a very lengthy explanation of why you didn’t get into the school.
- After you’re done reading, immediately call the college’s Office of Admissions. There’s been a mistake.
- Understand that it’s not personal. The applications board simply reviewed the materials you poured your heart into and decided they weren’t good enough.
- Remember: There’s no one out there who can possibly understand the pain you’re feeling.
- Focus on the positives. Some of the most successful people in history didn’t go to college because they were already busy changing the world by age 18.
- Even though it’s tough, try putting things in perspective. In the real world, nobody actually cares where you went to college except employers, your parents, potential romantic partners, and you.
- Cheer yourself up with a treat that you don’t deserve.
- Stay optimistic. You can always apply as a transfer student in the future if your dream school grossly lowers its standards.
- When you’re at your absolute lowest, take comfort in knowing your spot was taken by a more qualified, deserving student.
- Above all, remember that rejection is just a normal part of an unsuccessful person’s life.
